What to buy if you had a Million Dollars to spend? Here are some ideas

By: daniela - 8 December 2017, 16:32

Compartir en Facebook

Nothing better than dreaming of being a millionaire and buying anything you wanted to. Getting the house of your dreams in any place, decorating it with everything you desire and living where you wanted to live for all your life. Money is not the most important thing at all. However, we definitely know it can help us achieving lots of goals that without it, would be almost impossible. .

Here we are going to share 20 of the most beautiful things you could definitely have!

1. Tree house

Pinterest.

Don’t tell me you have never dreamed of a tree house! This one is quite a special one, it doesn’t look like it’s been handmade like most of the tree houses we’ve seen but we can’t deny it looks sweet and warm.

2. Hanging bed

Pinterest.

Can you just picture yourself sleeping in that bed, feeling the sweet breeze going through your hair? I need that! It doesn’t look just nice, look at those pillows! They look pretty comfy as well.

3. A water slide that takes you directly to your bedroom swimming pool

Google.

I couldn’t believe this was a true thing! Can you imagine having your own private slide and swimming pool? Not just private meaning that it’s in your own house. It is located in your own freaking bedroom! I couldn’t believe it, but it's definitely someone who had tons of money to spare would do.

4. Private cinema

Google.

This is not the weirdest thing or most expensive thing I’ve ever seen. You can buy a projector and just use it somewhere you have a white wall. Just throw some pillows and you are all done. The whole point is to have a cozy space with a good screen to watch movies.

5. Star bed

Google.

This is so beautiful. It looks a little bit uncomfortable but it is not. It has the average dimensions for a full bed but just a different shape, and those stars are the most romantic thing you could possibly have in a bed! Love them!

6. Water swings

Google.

If you have a lakeside or beachside villa, this is a must. I love this option. However, even though it looks beautiful I personally think it can be a little bit uncomfortable to be on top of the water. The view can be the same from the grass. However, again, those pillows can we THE thing that makes it all better. So, I would definitely have one with lots of pillows like the picture describes it.

7. Sliding-door bedroom.

Google.

Lots of wealth could mean a gorgeous and modern house in an exclusive location, and a luminous bedroom is the best thing you could ever have on it. Imagine being there while it is raining. You can watch the rain drops falling through all those sliding doors. They are like huge windows.

8. Magic lamp

Pinterest.

I’ve never seen something like this. You can imagine to be an oriental princess living in a huge castle with these lamps! The projection is quite impressive.

9. Swimming pool

Google.

With this swimming pool, you can swim your way to get to the balcony. I love these kind of swimming pools with weird shapes. It is interesting because you can swim in different directions and get to different places instead of a rectangular regular pool where you can swim straight.

10. Cat pipeline

Pinterest.

Having tons of money means your beloved pets can also live the good life. This one is quite amazing! Your love would love it and if you love your cat, this is the best gift you can buy him. It looks really fun and if I were a cat I think I would definitely love it.

11. Lake house

Pinterest.

Imagine having a lake house that looks like this one? Beautiful, right? Well imagine it located in the middle of the woods with all transparent walls? That would be even more impressive.

12. Secret room

Pinterest.

Of course we have sometimes seen something like this on a movie. We've all wanted a secret room in our houses when we were younger. Well, make it come true and do it! Look at this one, in this case it is not in a movie and somebody actually built it.

13. Glass floor on the top floor

Google.

I know some people would love something like this and would think this is cool. Of course, that is not my case I hate heights and this would make me avoid going to the toilet every time I need to. So, it is a cool thing to have that I would probably skip.

14. Underground garage

Google.

This is one of the coolest inventions ever! Having your car in an underground garage prevents it from taking space from your actual house. And making it magically appear is a cool thing too! It's almost as if it was your own superhero lair.

15. Labyrinth fish tank

Google.

As your cat, your fish would be the happier fish in the world with a gift like this one. Imagine how much fun could your fish have. It is, with no doubt, beautiful as a decorative item too!

16. Private island

Pinterest.

Can you imagine a private island where you can go on vacation with your group of friends? This is possibly the most amazing thing you could have! You are there chilling and just relaxing alone with the people you invite.

17. A cement mixer dance club ball

Google.

This is quite a crazy thing to have! But who wouldn’t have something like this? I can’t possibly imagine. It looks really fun and you can throw cool parties and use it to create the coolest light effect!

18. Livable terrarium

Pinterest.

This tent is the coolest one I have ever seen. It allows you to look at the starry night while laying on a comfortable bed! A luxury tent in all senses. If I had tons of money, I would have one of those built so I could stargaze wheenver I wanted.

19. Library room

Pinterest.

This looks like the most comfortable reading room in the whole world! Imagine it with snow all around, it couldn’t be better. The lighting helps it looking more comfortable as well as the wooden walls. The fact that is painted in black on the outside makes it look classier.

20. Chimney bathing tub

Pinterest.

One of the coolest inventions for winter time! Which could be better than the chimney noise just next to you while taking a hot bath? I think that could be the most relaxing experience in the world.

Freckled People Who’ll Hypnotize You With Their Unique Beauty

By: sofia - 30 November 2016, 19:29

Compartir en Facebook

Freckles are often found on people with fair complexions, such as people with red hair. Why? Because people with paler skin generally have less melanin, which is the pigment that gives skin, hair, and eyes their color. Where do they come from? Well, although freckles are inherited, it’s actually the sun that brings them out.

There’s no doubt that freckles are beautiful! And in this post, you’ll see incredible pictures of freckled people.

Freckles, sometimes called ephelides (singular ephelis), are clusters of concentrated melaninized cells which are most easily visible on people with a fair complexion.

Beautiful blue eyes

Source: Maja Topcagic

Freckles do not have an increased number of the melanin-producing cells melanocytes, but instead, have melanocytes that overproduce melanin granules (melanosomes) changing the coloration of the outer skin cells (keratinocytes).

The formation of freckles is triggered by exposure to sunlight. The exposure to UV-B radiation activates melanocytes to increase melanin production, which can cause freckles to become darker and more visible.

Freckles are predominantly found on the face, although they may appear on any skin exposed to the sun, such as arms or shoulders.

Heavily distributed concentrations of melanin may cause freckles to multiply and cover an entire area of skin, such as the face.

Freckles are rare on infants, and more commonly found on children before puberty. Upon exposure to the sun, freckles will reappear if they have been altered with creams or lasers and not protected from the sun, but do fade with age in some cases.

Freckles are not a skin disorder, but people with freckles generally have a lower concentration of photoprotective melanin and are therefore more susceptible to the harmful effects of UV radiation.

It is suggested that people whose skin tends to freckle should avoid overexposure to sun and use sunscreen.

The presence of freckles is related to rare alleles of the MC1R gene, though it does not differentiate whether an individual will have freckles if they have one or even two copies of this gene.

Individuals with no copies of the MC1R do sometimes display freckles. Even so, individuals with a high number of freckling sites have one or more of variants of the MC1R gene.

The MC1R gene is also associated with red hair more strongly than with freckles. Most red-haired individuals have two variants of the MC1R gene and almost all have one.

The variants that cause red hair are the same that cause freckling. Freckling can also be found in areas, such as Japan, where red hair is not seen.

The variants of the MC1R gene that are linked with freckles started to emerge in the human genotype when humans started to leave Africa.

The variant Val92Met arose somewhere between 250,000 - 100,000 years ago, long enough for this gene to be carried by humans into central Asia.

The wide variation of the MC1R gene exists in people of European descent because of the lack of strong environmental pressures on the gene.

The original allele of MC1R coded for dark skin with a high melanin content in the cells. The high melanin content is protective in areas of high UV light exposure. The need was less as humans moved into higher latitudes where incoming sunlight has lower UV light content.

The adaptation of lighter skin is needed so that individuals in higher latitudes can still absorb enough UV for the production of vitamin D.

Freckled individuals tend to tan less and have very light skin which would have helped the individuals that expressed these genes absorb vitamin D.

Ephelides are more common in those with light complexions, although they are found on people with a variety of skin tones. The regular use of sunblock can inhibit their development.

The Worst Architecture Fails Ever

By: sofia - 23 November 2016, 15:49

Architecture is both the process and the product of planning, designing, and constructing buildings and other physical structures. There’s no doubt that being an architect is a pretty important job. There’s little room for error, and everyone will probably notice and suffer the consequences of poor designing. Unfortunately, there are many architecture fails around the world but we have to admit they are kind of amusing.

We hope you enjoy this post about the worst architecture fails ever!

Architectural works, in the material form of buildings, are often perceived as cultural symbols and as works of art. Historical civilizations are often identified with their surviving architectural achievements.

Architecture has to do with planning and designing form, space and ambiance to reflect functional, technical, social, environmental, and aesthetic considerations.

It requires the creative manipulation and coordination of materials and technology, and of light and shadow. Often, conflicting requirements must be resolved.

The practice of architecture also encompasses the pragmatic aspects of realizing buildings and structures, including scheduling, cost estimation and construction administration.

Documentation produced by architects, typically drawings, plans and technical specifications, defines the structure and/or behavior of a building or other kind of system that is to be or has been constructed.

The word "architecture" has also been adopted to describe other designed systems, especially in information technology.

The earliest surviving written work on the subject of architecture is “De architectura”, by the Roman architect Vitruvius in the early 1st century AD.

According to Vitruvius, a good building should satisfy the three principles of firmitas, utilitas, venustas, commonly known by the original translation – firmness, commodity and delight.

While the notion that structural and aesthetic considerations should be entirely subject to functionality was met with both popularity and skepticism, it had the effect of introducing the concept of "function" in place of Vitruvius' "utility".

"Function" came to be seen as encompassing all criteria of the use, perception, and enjoyment of a building, not only practical but also aesthetic, psychological and cultural.

Among the philosophies that have influenced modern architects and their approach to building design are rationalism, empiricism, structuralism, poststructuralism, and phenomenology.

In the late 20th century a new concept was added to those included in the compass of both structure and function, the consideration of sustainability, hence sustainable architecture.

To satisfy the contemporary ethos a building should be constructed in a manner which is environmentally friendly in terms of the production of its materials, its impact upon the natural and built environment of its surrounding area and the demands that it makes upon non-sustainable power sources for heating, cooling, water and waste management and lighting.

Building first evolved out of the dynamics between needs (shelter, security, worship, etc.) and means (available building materials and attendant skills).

As human cultures developed and knowledge began to be formalized through oral traditions and practices, building became a craft, and "architecture" is the name given to the most highly formalized and respected versions of that craft.

It is widely assumed that architectural success was the product of a process of trial and error, with progressively less trial and more replication as the results of the process proved increasingly satisfactory.

What is termed vernacular architecture continues to be produced in many parts of the world. Indeed, vernacular buildings make up most of the built world that people experience every day.

Early human settlements were mostly rural. Due to a surplus in production the economy began to expand resulting in urbanization thus creating urban areas which grew and evolved very rapidly in some cases, such as that of Çatal Höyük in Anatolia and Mohenjo Daro of the Indus Valley Civilization in modern-day Pakistan.

Great photos of the United States in 1950’s

By: Mónica López - 11 May 2018, 18:38

Compartir en Facebook

Even if the Second World War, Cold War and racial segregation were recent events in that decade, the 50s decade is remembered as a golden age for the United States, because was the time for fashion, music and properity. We know that colorized photos were something new and people were discovering what it was to have a color photography, and that’s why all the pictures are Black and white, even if some people took the time to color them.

These 50s photos are showing us how was life in those times, where everything started to change. Denis Fraevich gave a little color to those black and white photos, knowing that tones and colors were a little different to the one that we use these days. The results are so good that we are going to feel like we are traveling on time.

Alabama, 1956

In that era racial segregation was something really difficult. It includes separation of access to facilities, services and opportunities such as housing, medical care and education.

Times Square, 1955

Times Square never has stopped surprising us and even in the 50's decade was one of the most interesting and full of life places.

New York City, 1958

Fashion was something really important in those days and people used to be dressed pretty elegant to go out for a walk. Like a magazine cover.

Fishing, 1950

We can see a little group of fishers with perfect uniforms for the occasion, it is easy think about Popeye when we see the picture.

Beauty, 1950

Thinking about beauty from the 1950's is almost impossible not thinking about curves and long legs and all the girls wanted to be like Marilyn Monroe, and of course that beautiful smile she had.

Smokey Bear, 1950

We can see the bear, this bear was the inspiration to Smokey Bear, a symbol we use to stay away from forest fires in the United States.

James Dean, 1955

James Dean was an American actor who became a popular icon and a role model for many teenagers.

Daytona Beach, 1957

Daytona Beach is a city in Volusia County, Florida, United States. The city is historically known for its beach.

Anne St. Marie, 1959

Anne St. Marie was one of the most popular model of the 50's decade and also is one of the biggest mysteries. Her style made her be noticed as a unique girl.

Watching, 1956

In 50s decade not all the people had the same Rights. Not everyone could go to all the places, as we can see in this image was difficult for them to be on the other side, is good to know that everything changed.

The streets of San Francisco, 1957

It is almost impossible not recognizing these streets, we watch them all the time on movies, series and magazines. Totally beautiful.

Car Seats

These don't look like the one we use these days, but let's be honest these are really useful and the design is really great and elegant.

TV

If we see the TV that we have at home, these are squared, in 50's decade they were round and they seem to be out of a science fiction movie.

Summer, 1954

Without any doubt, those swimsuits were really cute and fashionable and their body looked really curvy. There's anything better than having a pool for those hot days.

Parking lot, 1953

The parking lots were really different to the ones we know, this image shows how curious and different these were. It seems like the cars were about to fall.

Gwen Verdon, 1953

In this image we can see the actress and dancer, enjoying the view of this city on a rooftop in a comfy hammock. Even this made her look so unique.

A date in New York, 1957

A couple was having a date in New York city, one of the best scenarios to walk and discover new places.

Childhood, 1953

We can see a little boy enjoying the sunlight while he is playing with a duck, the duck seems to be interested on those boots.

Taxi driver, 1956

Taxis have been existing since many year ago, and are pretty useful, especially when we don't know the places or we are visiting another country.

These kind of accidents are not just a present thing but of course these happen even more often these days because of the people not paying attention on the road.
